Summary

The Trump administration faces a dilemma as skyrocketing egg prices due to bird flu have forced Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to consider emergency imports.

With eggs now averaging $8 per dozen (up from $2.25 last fall), Trump may need to request imports from countries he's recently antagonized—particularly Canada, the largest U.S. egg importer, which Trump has threatened with tariffs and annexation.

Other potential egg suppliers (Netherlands, UK, China) have also faced Trump's recent hostility through tariffs or threats.

Meanwhile, Turkey plans to export 420 million eggs to the U.S., but this represents less than 5% of monthly U.S. production.

Spoiled eggs from Turkey sounds like a great way to Make America Sick Again, LOL. Dear Canadians, Please post photos of your inexpensive eggs. Additionally, please post photos of all the items you use eggs to make. Fuck trump.

I actually do have a photo of Canadian eggs ($3.79 CAD is about $2.50 USD)

Oh, Canada

This is a good idea. Fuck trump. Fuck the republican traitor filth.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It's probably pasteurised eggs. And it's probably not direct to consumer either. Lots of things have eggs in them and those eggs were probably bought in jugs or barrels rather than dozens.

Trudeau would be within his rights to tell him to suck off

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or "suck an egg" if you will.

“We MUST invade Canada. Not for the oil, not for the water, not for the minerals, steel or aluminum, but for the eggs! Get America cracking again!”

I wish Trump what he deserves.

[–] WeeSheep@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wish his supporters everything they voted for

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 17 points 1 day ago

$50 eggs. I recognize so many citizens actually support these moves. This is a relatively harmless way to draw attention to more of these bad decisions.

By all means, let the price of eggs skyrocket. It’s the least harmless of what we collectively voted for.

Zelensky should have brought a carton of eggs to the oval office.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 14 points 1 day ago

That would be such a power move.

What an odd way to signify 36 eggs

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

. "Twin cartons of two less a score m'lud" is what the egg valet relayed to me.

the best thing for the world right now would be for america to suffer the consequences of its poor decisions. the beatings must continue until we start making better decisions.

I can vaguely remember what eggs used to cost

If trump keep “creating history” for another 50 days like he has been doing for the first 50 days so far, I surely wont remember what an egg look like.

Even some of my friends from China and Russia are taken aback by the level of vulnerability and obedience Americans seem to have towards brainwashing techniques.

Even some of my friends from China and Russia are taken aback by the level of vulnerability and obedience Americans seem to have towards brainwashing techniques.

Years ago, when Donald Trump was still just a reality TV star, I went to a conference in the US and talked for quite a bit of time with someone from Germany, who had grown up in East Germany before the Berlin Wall fell. He said that in his childhood, all the TV news and print media were filled with State propaganda. Nobody believed it. But everyone said they did, to avoid unwanted government scrutiny.

He remarked that the media in the US sounded very similar to the media that used to be in East Germany. And not just Fox News (the Conservative darling at the time). All the US media resembled the media in East Germany back in the day, to some extent. But he was very surprised to realize that Americans believed the media, as long as it agreed to their pre-conceived political beliefs. (And, worse yet, didn't believe the media that offered opposing viewpoints out of hand). Here we had the freedom to believe whatever we wanted, and we let ourselves get brainwashed.

Things have only gotten worse since Americans started getting their news online, from self-selected social media influencers.

Nah, fuck that. Let’s see eggs go to $20/dozen.

Does anyone know what's happening to the tariffs ?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

The White House said they weren't coming, then Trump got mad and said they definitely were, now the White House is saying they don't konw it's up to Trump.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Literally no one. Not even the fuck-wit-in-chief has any idea at this moment.
